Ripley Tools UtilityTool WS 64-U-E Adjustable End Stripper (0.50in - 2.50in)
The Ripley Tools UtilityTool WS 64-U-E Adjustable End Stripper is a rugged, all-metal cable preparation tool engineered for utility linemen, cable jointers, and electrical technicians who need a reliable, single-tool solution for end stripping primary and secondary power cables. Built to handle cable diameters from 0.5in to 2.5in (12.7 mm to 63.5 mm) at voltages from 5kV to 35kV, this universal stripper removes outer jackets and insulation with minimal effort thanks to its precision blade geometry.
At the core of the WS 64-U-E is a dual-position, spring-loaded trigger-action jaw that allows for quick cable diameter adjustments in the field, eliminating the need for multiple dedicated tools. The micro-adjustable blade accommodates a wide range of jacket and insulation thicknesses (up to 175 mils), while the tool's compatibility with all major insulation shield types — concentric, tape, flat strap, LC, and CLX — makes it a versatile choice for both overhead and underground primary distribution cable, as well as secondary distribution cable.
Designed and manufactured by Ripley Tools, a US-based manufacturer with decades of experience serving the electric utility and communications industries, the WS 64-U-E is built for durability in demanding field conditions. This E (end-stripping blade) configuration of the WS 64 Series is purpose-built for cable end preparation, making it a go-to tool for jointing crews preparing cable ends for splicing and termination work.
